Gaumont Television has today confirmed Deadline’s July scoop that the studio is developing an adaptation of the prolific author’s 2008 novella, N. The story appears in the Just After Sunset collection and the TV version will be rechristened 8. Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation helmer David F Sandberg is directing the pilot while Ant-Man And The Wasp scripters Andrew Barrer & Gabe Ferrari are writing, as Deadline previously noted. Sandberg, Barrer and Ferrari are exec producing alongside Lotta Losten (Lights Out) and 3 Arts Entertainment’s Erwin Stoff who are supervising the project.
N, now 8, takes place in Maine where a group of eight imposing stones contains an ancient evil so terrifying that it can drive visitors mad. In the summer of 1992, three teenagers escaped the malicious force, and are confronted 25 years later.
Sandberg is coming off New Line/Warner Bros’ Annabelle: Creation which has grossed nearly $300M in worldwide box office and is still in release. His feature directing debut, Lights Out, was a 2016 summer hit with $149M global. Ant-Man And The Wasp, which Barrer and Ferrari co-wrote, releases next summer from Disney/Marvel. The latter previously published a graphic novel of N, written by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by Alex Maleev.
The 8 series joins Gaumont’s recently-set co-production with Ivanhoe Pictures, Red Rush. The sci-fi project will be written by The Big Short‘s Charles Randolph and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes‘ Rupert Wyatt. The 22nd century-set tale takes place on Mars which has become the new Wild West where a scientist, an outlaw miner and a merciless intelligence worker will be involved in a plot that will overthrow the powers on the Red Planet and beyond.http://deadline.com/2017/09/stephen-kin ... 202176980/

Stephen King has always been popular, but it seems like 2017 really took things to the next level, as there have been a ton of TV and film adaptations of his horror masterpieces. Well, get ready to add one more to the pile, as another one of his novellas is coming to TV.
The novella in question is N., from King’s 2008 collection Just After Sunset. However, Deadline reports that it’s being retitled 8, which makes sense based on the plot. In the original story (which was adapted into a motion comic and limited Marvel series), several different people are haunted by eight standing stones in a field outside of a town in Maine. The victims believe the stones are a gateway that will allow a Cthulhu-like being from another plane to come to our world and wreak havoc. When this monster is about to break through, victims will see only seven stones instead of eight, and they’ll develop fears and phobias of odd and prime numbers.
The show appears to be adding an It-like framing device to the story, as Deadline writes that 8 will follow three friends who escaped the malevolent force behind the stones in 1992, and have to face that history 25 years later.
David F Sandberg, the guy behind Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, will direct the pilor, which is being written by the folks who wrote the scrip for Ant-Man And The Wasp, Andrew Barrer & Gabe Ferrari.https://www.inverse.com/article/36908-s ... -8-tv-show?

The Dead Zone series exec producer Lloyd Segan is back in business with King on a potentially ground-breaking premise. They will adapt the 1994 King novel Insomnia as a scripted VR series, and are in talks with Google to make it happen. The Fate Of The Furious and Straight Outta Compton helmer F. Gary Gray is circling to direct a terror story about a man stricken with extreme insomnia that unlocks an ability to see messengers of death, these gnome-like creatures that cut the strings of the life aura that everyone possesses. All this is set against a pro-choice convention. The plan is to film an hour, initially, broken into five- or 10-minute segments that can be viewed at home with systems like Valve, PlayStation, Xbox. http://deadline.com/2017/07/stephen-kin ... 202133074/

Kingamania is running wild, brother, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down! It’s wonderful to see Stephen King’s work getting so much attention lately with the mega successful IT adaptation opening the door to even more onscreen horrors to come. Recently King sat down with Vulture to talk about what’s next.
When asked about new versions of The Stand which have garnered the interest of directors like Ben Affleck and Josh Boone, and even the possibility of a VR adaptation of Insomnia, King had the following to say.
“You just never know until it’s gonna happen, but the VR thing is still percolating away. I don’t think it’s dead or anything like that, although I haven’t heard about it lately. There’s talk about another thing, an animated feature, but I can’t tell you anything further — it’s a secret. That looks like it might happen. There’s talk about doing The Stand as an extended TV series, possibly for Showtime or CBS All Access, and there’s been some interest in developing Salem’s Lot as a feature, probably because people are saying, ‘Well, we took an old miniseries called It and turned it into a phenomenon, so maybe we can do it with something else.’ Nothing succeeds like excess!”
Another version of Salem’s Lot? That didn’t work so well the last time back in 2004 under the direction of Mikael Salomon, but hey, try try again, right? We’ll keep our ears to the ground. As for that secret thing… oh, Stephen! You’re such a tease! Bless your black little heart! http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/253902 ... lot-stand/

It's a great time to be a Stephen King fan. The wild success of IT has brought a renewed interest in the author's work, which means we are bound to be getting some new adaptations of his beloved stories in the near future. There are quite a few King projects already in development, but what else could we see in the next couple of years? According to King, it looks like The Stand and Salem's Lot are up next.
The 70-year-old author spoke with Vulture recently and talked a bit about what may be coming down the pipeline. Adaptations of Gerald's Game and 1922 are coming to Netflix very soon, but Stephen King says that some of his bigger, more recognizable stories, are possibly going to get new adaptations soon. The Stand is, once again, possibly going to be done as a TV series and Salem's Lot may finally be made as a proper movie. Here's what he had to say about it.
"There's talk about doing The Stand as an extended TV series, possibly for Showtime or CBS All Access. And there's been some interest in developing Salem's Lot as a feature, probably because people are saying, 'Well, we took an old miniseries called IT and turned it into a phenomenon, so maybe we can do it with something else.' Nothing succeeds like excess!"
The Stand is something that Hollywood has been trying to crack for a while now. At one point, The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone was working on a movie adaptation, but we haven't heard anything about that for a while. The Stand was adapted into a series in 1994 that, at best, is very dated and, even in its time, didn't live up to the full potential that exists in the source material. As for the whole CBS All Access thing, that bit makes sense, as the network is trying to create very attractive, exclusive content to attract subscribers to the service. They already started with Star Trek: Discovery. A high-dollar Stephen King adaptation would be another huge get for the streaming service.
As for Salem's Lot, that is one of the Stephen King novels most deserving of a modern adaptation. As King points out, the novel was done as a TV movie in 1979 by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper. It would make sense for a studio to look at the success of IT and try to do the same thing with Salem's Lot. If done correctly, it could bring in the same kind of financial reward. Stephen King also says an animated feature based on one of his works is happening, but he can't tell us anything about it right now.
"There's talk about another thing, an animated feature, but I can't tell you anything further, it's a secret. That looks like it might happen."
While speaking with Vulture, the author also commented on the Insomnia VR series, saying that he hasn't heard a word about the project in quite some time. In any case, if you're a Stephen King fan, get ready for a whole bunch of new movies and shows based on his work, good and bad, over the coming years. Let's just hope if The Stand and Salem's Lot do wind up moving forward, they're done right this time.

it’s been announced by Variety that Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch, the duo that directed the 2014 indie horror film Starry Eyes, have been tapped by Paramount to direct a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary!
The script is by Jeff Buhler and that the film will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian and Steven Schneider.

Pet Sematary will be directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer. Jeff Buhler will adapt from the King novel. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, and Steven Schneider are producing.

Mike Flanagan has been set to direct Doctor Sleep, an adaptation of the 2013 King novel that picks up the life of the Redrum kid Danny Torrance when he is in his 40s and struggling with the same demons of anger and alcoholism that plagued his father.
Flanagan will rewrite the script originally adapted by Akiva Goldsman. Flanagan’s producing partner Trevor Macy will produce along with Vertigo Entertainment’s Jon Berg, and Goldsman is executive producer.
Flanagan helmed the horror hit Oculus, and he and Macy just teamed for the Netflix adaptation of the King novel Gerald’s Game, which stars Carla Gugino. Flanagan and Macy are currently in production on The Haunting of Hill House for Netflix, and their other collaborations are Hush, Ouija: Origin of Evil and Before I Wake. Latter was released on Netflix January 5.

Chris Long and David Ayer’s Cedar Park Entertainment has acquired Stephen King’s The Bone Church and will develop it as a TV series. Cedar Park will be the studio for the project as well. The Bone Church is a narrative poem that King wrote in the 1960s. He later revised it and the poem was published as part of a King anthology, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams.
